Abstract

We prove that for almost all symmetric spaces XX and for any sequence of compact locally symmetric spaces YnY_n which is uniformly discrete, has a uniform spectral gap, and converges in the sense of Benjamini--Schramm to XX, the joint eigenfunctions of all invariant differential operators on YnY_n delocalize on average when their spectral parameters are taken to lie in a fixed spectral window.
